Sonic 1 and 2 getting the Sonic CD treatment by Taxman and Stealth

I think he meant it as in SEGA paying $40,000 in order to get the patches programmed and distributed around via said service, rather then the consumer paying it.

 

Yeah, I think that (at least for XBL) that they let you put out the first patch free and patches after that cost $40K.

It doesn't matter that the first patch is free, it would still cost them more money.
They still need to farm out the console releases to actual developers for those systems, and if they're going to do a patch they'll need to pay that developer to port the patch. It's cheaper for them to wait until Taxman and Stealth have the mobile version as perfect as possible so they only need to release it once.

 

Was that ever confirmed anywhere? I was under the impression that "the plan" was just speculation by other members of this forum.

If they haven't been announced for current gen consoles at this point, I won't expect them. Maybe PS4/Xbone?

 

There's absolutely nothing saying we'll get a console version of this, ever, not that there shouldn't be. What news we've heard actually points to us 'not' getting one due to the consoles already having S1 and 2.

Although who knows, a XBLA/PSN XB1 and PS4 release could be the excuse we need to get 'all' the fixes for Sonic CD, and both Sonic 1 and 2 ironed out.

 

You forgot the Wii U.


EDIT: Which could also theoretically get a fully fixed Sonic CD port.

 

iOS updates for both Sonic 1 and CD have gone live.

 

...

Can I still do the Tails and Knuckles glitch? I don't want to update if that's been fixed.

 

You can, but in a different way. Select Sonic + Tails on no save, then let attract mode play. Then go to level select and set player to Knuckles. I figured people still wanted that in but it's been fixed in the save game slots.

 

Will there be an update for the Android version? Also, could someone provide the change log?

 

Sonic 1 Android update should go live soon. It usually takes a little while for it to show up.

 

I can confirm that the Knuckles game over ending has been fixed. Also his fists now break walls.

 

Fucking hell, is there any length you won't go to with these ports? Kudos, and thanks!

 

So if you don't mind me asking, what were all the fixes in these ios ports?

 

Didn't his fists always break walls? They did in Android version for me anyway.

 

Fairly sure I noticed that he couldn't smash through the walls in GHZ3 without spinning.

 

You're definitely mistaken on this one. It was one of the first things I tested with Knuckles.

 

I'll second that.

 

I also didn't get the Knuckles ending problem before the update... Using Android.
